“Envisioning an advanced ICT- supported build-up of Manufacturing skills for the Factories of the Future”
13. SEFI Workshop 2014
Stefano Perini & Poul Kyvsgaard Hansen
18 / 09 / 2014
Factories of the future are expected to create a large amount of employment opportunities for citizens. Factory workers are key to competitiveness but challenges such as changing demographics & news skills must be addressed. Policies should address the following items:
• New approaches to accommodate different demographics
• New technical, educational & organisational ways to increase attractiveness of factory work
• New approaches to development of skills & competences
• New ways to organise factories: Human-centred work environments
• Ways to integrate future factory work into social patterns

Some Insights
•Both students and teachers are highly motivated by real life, realistic, and updated cases (that they can relate to). This is rarely supported by current textbooks
•There is a rich potential in video material and informative web pages publicly available. However, it is difficult and time consuming to get overview and verify quality
•Companies are willing to deliver content but find the requests from institutions unfocused and uncoordinated.

Challenge #1
You have a small specified production facility at 64 square meters. You have one plastic moulding machine. You have the necessary moulds. Your are two persons on the task.
Establish a new production setup to produce 250,000 white LEGO Minifigures.

Challenge #1 – Task 1
The LEGO Minifigure consists
of 9 plastic parts:
Head
Upper body
Left arm
Right arm
2 hands (no difference between left and right)
Hip
Left leg
Right leg
This makes 8 different plastic
parts

Challenge #1 – Task 3
T, Cycle Time
Ti, Injection Time
Tc, Cooling Time
Tpa, Packing Time
Tpl, Plastifying Time
Tm, Machine Movement Time
The sequence of the components in the plastic moulding cycle time can seen below:
The packing time (Tpa) and the plastifying time (Tpl) will take place during cooling
and machine movement and they do therefore not impact the total cycle time.
